Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
In your stable do you have both power and manual steering 69 Chevelles?
I only have power steering, no comparisons here. Ryan |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
My COPO is a manual steering car..I love it!

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
If you need to turn sharp at low speeds you can simply dump the clutch with a wee bit of gas and it will jump off to one side with little to no steering.

And a couch to admire your work from.
Nice stuff. |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Wow,
You are "motoring" right along. Looks like good axles, or are they stock. Looks like a stock belhousing, or is it SFI approved? Amazing progress. Ryan |

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
By your signature, this is your "small" ZL-1 only 427 cubes? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
Ryan PS: I added some ZL-1 pics from Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...icture_080.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...icture_081.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...icture_082.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...icture_151.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...icture_152.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...icture_177.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...icture_175.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...icture_176.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...icture_179.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...icture_178.jpg |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Nice work Albert! Can't wait to see it done.

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project

this is the difference between a original bellcrank support and a repop..repop is black. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...0-img_1140.jpg motor getting ready https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...1-img_1141.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...2-img_1143.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...3-img_1144.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/use...4-img_1145.jpg not happy with the bell housing color..probably gonna take it back out..one step closer |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Nice work,
Is the bell-housing aluminum or painted? Ryan |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project

Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project

Didnt you just build one of these ZL1 Chevelles a year ago? At this rate you're going to be the next Preston Tucker. (BTW, do you work on Pontiacs? I am still huntng for a painter in the neighborhood) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] |

Ryan Hi Albert, I like the idea and the look of the 621 but wouldn't a SFI approved unit be a little safer at 7K banging into second? |
Re: 69 300 deluxe ZL-1 project
Ryan..no 7K shifts for this one...yet.
